Warms the heart to see your fishing reports. Here in Kentucky it's still winter.
Ice just melted off most the lakes here in northern Kentucky. Unless we have another cold snap (highly likely this time of year) we're 4-5 weeks out. Seems like a very long time...

Lifeproof does what it says it will do.
Only problems I had with mine:
1) voice was muffled. My hearing isn't too good to start with (too many years as a musician and target shooter).
2) people...
If I were retired from my day job, I'd be calling to ask when do I start.

I own this same rod. One of the sweetest casting 3wts out there.
Welcome back.
There are no big fly fishing companies. Even Orvis and Sage are small by corporate standards. Scott, Winsto St. Croix, all very small companies by corporation standards.Jeff
Is it wrong to be jealous? I dream of the day I can retire and the most stressful decisions of the day will be: Fly or Spinning, Acoustic or Electric. Congratulations on your upcoming retirement!
Try a 12 or 14 bhpt stripped in slow and steady. Works for me on stocker trout in the lakes around here in KY. Bead Head Hare's Ears work pretty well too.

Most of my fishing is warm water for bluegill, crappie and bass with poppers and streamers. My go to rod for this fishing is a 9' 5wt Scott G2.
For trout on most streams and tailwaters, my...
silver Christmas tree tinsel is good stuff.

I use it for a minnow imitation fly I tie, killer on crappie and bluegill in the spring. I use a long shank hook (8, 10, 12 depending on what I'm after). Tie a clump of white maribou on the tail...
Nice bass!
Loved it. A buddy is really into trains. Sent the link to him.
I have some expensive rods (Scott and Winston) and some inexpensive rods (Cabela's and Reddington). I've caught fish with all of them.
The Scotts (G2) are a joy to cast as is the Winston (BIIt). ...
I think I'd just pass. Similar thing happened to a friend of mine with some guitar equipment. The ex girlfriend sold a couple Fender Strats, an amp and some pedals cheap. The guy bought it for a...
I bought the Cabela's Traditional II rod a couple years back (8'6" 5t) to use on my pontoon. If I dropped it in the lake I wouldn't be out a lot of money (i.e. Scott G2, Winston BIIt kind of money)....
A couple of my lines do not have loops and here's what I did. I took the loop end of a leader and nail knotted it to my fly line. This gives me a ready made loop.
hope this helps.

Personally, I'd just take the rod I wanted to use most and be happy with the experience. Carrying two rigged rods while on the stream and trying to change between them just sounds like a pain to me....
And for some of us, our belly does the same thing. :grin:
Can't really comment on the chestpack but I have a fishpond vest and a fishpond gear and wader bag and they are well made and rugged. A...
I just eat a lot of beans before going fishing. Seems to work pretty well.
That one gets my vote!
$895 puts this rod out of the range of what I would be willing to pay for a fly rod. I have a couple Scott Rods (G2) and one Winston (BIIt). The Scott rods I bought used (one from a guy on this...
Should have 100%. Missed one because I clicked on the wrong little button. My hand eye coordination is second only to my lack of casting ability. Knowing how it should be done and actually doing...
will do for sure!!!
